KHAIRPUR, Dec 4: Sindh IG Mushtaq Shah has said that Khairpur and Rohri are the most sensitive spots in upper Sindh during Muharram.

Addressing a meeting of police officials at SSP Office and talking to reporters, he said foolproof security arrangements had been made.

Police force was at alert and Rangers had also been deployed in different cities, he said, adding that terrorists’ arrest in Karachi was the result of strict security measures.

He said that he would visit sensitive spots in upper Sindh to get feedback from police officials. Answering a question, he said Khairpur was one of the largest districts of upper Sindh but it did not have sufficient number of Ranger personnel. However, he said efforts will be made to increase their number in future.

To another question, he said that there was no political or feudal pressure on police in connection with the investigation into triple murder of Nov 7 in Chak village of Shikarpur district. He said that he was unaware that some Hindu families wanted to shift from Chak after that incident.

The IG vowed that the main accused in the triple murder case would be arrested.

DIG of Sukkur Dr Ameer Shaikh, SSP of Khairpur Irfan Baloch, SP Ghulam Akbar Wagan, SSP of Sukkur Saqib Ismail Memon, SSP of Ghotki Pir Mohammad Shah and other senior police officials attended the meeting.
